Ca’Momi finally opens at Oxbow Public Market
As we told you way back at the beginning of June, Oxbow Public Market has finally filled the vacancy left by former tennant Folio Enoteca.

Today, Ca’ Momi Enoteca and Pizzeria officially opened (original target open date was in August) for business and is offering authentic, wood-fired Italian pizzas, traditional Italian pastries and classic Italian wines. The enoteca and pizzeria will feature not only Ca’ Momi wines, but also a selection of wines from smaller regions and producers in Italy (cool!).

Cosentino’s license with the California Department of Agriculture allowing the winery and its parent company, Cosentino Signature Enterprises LLC, to purchase grapes is no longer valid.

The department’s Market Enforcement Branch estimates the company owes at least $1.2 million to 30 grapegrowers.

A notice of default on the winery’s property at 7415 St. Helena Highway has been filed with the Napa County Recorder’s Office, demanding Cosentino pay in full its $12 million loan, plus $555,116 in interest and fees.
